Change Management and the Affects on Productivity

One of the biggest concerns and the reason why so many consultants and MBA business schools study change management is because it directly affects the productivity of the company and the efficiency and the use of the organizational capital, which has been already established at the management levels.

How does change management affect the productivity of a company or corporation? It is simple really, you see, when a manager who is well-liked is moved to a different part of the company, leaves the company because he is disgruntled with his superiors or is fired due to lack of performance or corporate politics you can begin to see the dynamics and complexity of change management and human behavior.

If the manager was not performing and was let go, then perhaps he was too easy on the employees and the new manager may not be well-liked and therefore this could cause productivity to decline. Perhaps the manager was not performing because he was a jerk to his employees and productivity was not up to speed. A new manager put into place with the proper management skills will see a direct and immediate increase in productivity in this case.

If an efficient manager was moved to a higher position in the company or slotted into a different management position and productivity could drop if the new manager does not pick up or shadow the old manager to ensure a smooth transition. Needless to say change management very much affects the productivity of a company and executives would be well advised to consider the social aspects, productivity and efficiency of any change in management. Please consider this in 2006.
